Physicists at TU Wien have created an ultracold quantum gas where both energy and mass flow without any measurable loss, a result that defies the standard expectation that interacting quantum systems ...

A gas made of particles of light, or photons, becomes easier to compress the more you squash it. This strange property could prove useful in making highly sensitive sensors. While gases are normally ...

New results from an atmospheric study over the Eastern North Atlantic reveal that tiny aerosol particles that seed the formation of clouds can form out of next to nothingness over the open ocean. The ...

Researchers have shown that certain volatile organic gases can promote cloud formation in a way never considered before by atmospheric scientists. They say this is the first time gases have been shown ...

The quantum Cheshire cat effect draws its name from the fictional Cheshire Cat in the Alice in Wonderland story. That cat was able to disappear, leaving only its grin behind. Similarly, in a 2013 ...

Oxygen sensing, magnetic, and upconversion luminescence properties are combined in multi-functional composite particles prepared herein by a simple mixing, baking, and grinding procedure. Upconverting ...

A few days ago, the European Commission presented its Green Deal, which aims to make the EU climate neutral by 2050 in order to protect the environment and improve people's health and quality of life.
